New baits for 2020

[Tyrrell]

Anyone interested in sharing pictures of baits you are excited to throw for the 2020 season?

I just got 2 Custom painted Narcan glide baits from My Addiction. I sent some pictures in and got exactly what I wanted back. 

 A few months a ago I ordered some show colors from Musky Innovations. I also bought a 2020 Assault Stick and  Tranx 400hg.

Looks like you're ready! Good luck!

Looking forward to using it soon!

Nice! Curious to hear how the new Assault stick performs. I picked up some european rapalas and some of the big softbaits they use overseas for their oversize pike. Getting excited for the toothy critter seasons!

I have been eyeing the X-Rap Peto and Otus. Since last year.

   Those jointed Rapalas have caught me a lot of my bigger fish including the one in my profile pic.  Also had follows from some in Waneta that were bigger than any I have  caught there so far.

I like the gliding raps!  Get an epoxy paint job on em from rougarou and they can be fished anywhere in the column.  I like jointed rapalas as well.  I picked up some big 6" paddle tails from Keitech that I'm looking forward to trying.  Mepps has an aglia with a weedless keeper hook and curl tail that I'm going to try as well.

I've been loading up since my last trip on 12/13. This is the new spring trolling lineup. I've got just as much for casting. Ugh..

 

I've also got 2 Boss Shads on the way and am still hoping to get my hands on a Baker or two. But that's it. I swear. No mas!

 

These dang musky baits are just so pretty though. Look at this Apocalypse Perch paint job.

I have been considering getting the  .22 long whiskey walleye for a few weeks. I really like that color.

Ha! That's about how long I deliberate over buying baits. I'll have 20 baits in my cart at TRO for a month. Just look at them every couple of days. Then I finally decide I'm gonna pull the trigger and get it down to maybe 10 and place the order. Great service from TRO and MTO.

 

The Whiskey Walleye is a beautiful pattern. Love that orange belly.

 

How do you like the 2020 Assault Stick? I was thinking of getting one of the original Shock & Awes for throwing heavy baits but now am thinking about the 2020. Just wondering if it has the lightness and feel of a St. Croix since it has the price.

I took it out to cast a few times when I got it. But I haven't actually fished with it yet. 

 I might take it with me Saturday for fun, but I doubt I will be throwing anything big.

I have so much tackle I've bought and never had a chance to really fish that I'm going to use the shutdown to try some new stuff.  I have a bunch of the new Rapala TDD13's I got last year I wanna put some time into.  If anyone wants to try one of these I have a bunch.

My business partner for shows bought 2 this winter and was a St Croix user for years, says his new 2020 is the best rod he's ever used.

I have put the Assult stick to use for a few weeks now and I really like it. I planned to use it just for bigger lures mostly at Waneta and use my St. Croix Premire as my go to Otisco rod. 

 I have found that for what ever reason with the same line/reel that the Assault stick which is rated for 3 to 10 oz. Will throw small lighter baits farther and with much less backlash.

  Not sure why? It is 6 inches longer but it'shard to believe that would make as much difference as it does.

Good info, guys. Thanks,
